Lee's interview with Nancy Deedrick is currently in rotation on the commercial free Pluto Radio stream. It is an informal discussion about life on the Sunset Strip back in the sixties and seventies. Ms. Deedrick's website is titled THE GREAT HOLLYWOOD HANGOVER (http://www.hollywoodhangover.com/) Nancy shares stories of what it was like living on the Strip in the mid to late sixties and early seventies. The Whiskey Go Go, The Roxy, The London Fog, The Classic Cat, The Body Shop... Lee also includes an audio recording of Nancy and some friends getting tossed out of a motel for playing their guitars too loud - perhaps most notable, Mr. Joe Cocker. The following is an excerpt from Nancy's website: "
If you hung out on "The Strip"
in the sixties, then you know exactly what
the "Hollywood Hangover" is. If you were not there, then you
probably wish you had
been, so here is where you'll find information about the people who
lived in the grandest part of the world during the greatest era of
them all.
What I have read
and seen so far about that period, would have given me the wrong
impression, had
I not lived there myself. The Jim Morrison movie for instance,
was disturbing--the way we were portrayed. It was misleading. Whose
impression was THAT?! ...and oh so negative! That's not the way I
remember it, folks.
I don't remember anything bad about
the sixties. The bad stuff was minimal; and it's not something I
ever want to zero in on like so many
other writers have done. Every movie, every documentary--all
negative
or sleazy. We weren't angels, but we weren't offensive pigs,
either. Our young people are being deprived of the truth, because
they have been given a
warped notion of what went on. I was there, and it
was wonderful."
